> By deputy sheriff in the Petitioner’s county or any
Tennessee County, which is the preferred method;
> By private process in Tennessee or outside the state,
using a friend orrelative or any other adult;
> By Secretary of State, when the Respondent lives
outside the state, which entails additional costs;
> By certified mail, in Tennessee or outside the state;
> By Publication in a newspaper, which is used when
the Respondent cannot or will not be located. This requires a good faith effort
on the part of the Petitioner to locate the missing Respondent, after which the
court grants him or her permission to publish "the notice at least once a
week in each of four successive weeks in one or more newspapers of general
circulation published in the county in which the action is pending."
